put all LED bulbs in the interior, cleaned rear glass cause it was dirty af. Tinting the windows thursday, and also noticed my rear wiper stopped working zzzzz

I can ask when they call me when they get the cams. Cam removal is super easy. I figured why not before I throw the motor in.

When I talked to them they have a few different grinds. Anywhere from 15-30hp/tq I believe. I did research months ago can't remember where but people said they do great

Car unfortunately has been sitting for a while as this winter sucked. Decided to finally get ball rolling on the motor swap. Got a 2.2L from a 95 Impreza with a transmission. Numbers match so should swap right in. Removed cams from the donor motor and just sent them out to deltacams. I have a grocery list of stuff to install on this car. The parts pile is getting big in the garage. Stainless lines, hawk pads, rotors, rear strut bar, outback sway bars, 04 sti struts with rce yellows, gt spoiler, inferno fab header/jpipe, brz wheels.... Lol

Removed tbelt and cams from my donor 2.2L. Cams on the way to deltacam for a regrind.

You should get bixenon HIDs... No better way man. Did you retro yours?

I want mine off. My retros overpower the fogs anyway lol, they are useless with highs on

Started stainless brake line install. Only got 1 brake done because I forgot my line wrenches at parents house. Ran out of daylight. http://i.imgur.com/kn2CG9yl.jpg Hopefully get more done today, and possibly do SPT muffler/sway bars.

What about a rear disc conversion? They look much better and work better lol

got new hood/trunk from boneyard. Dipped the scoop, kept old scoop from old hood so I can paint that for reals and install later. http://i.imgur.com/LKAWRGul.jpg

yeah I just read the how to and people saying it sounds better. I didn't find said graph post till he posted it. Back to stock!

I kinda noticed it wasn't running as great too. It's all back to stock now

Ah. I just put mine back together because car wasn't running right after I did it, and apparently it messes with MAF readings lol. Sounded a lot meaner though

Nice. Did you do the snorkelectumy? Or whatever it's called

damn thats clean under there lol

Well damn, guess I didn't do enough research lol. That's why I kept everything regarding the snorkus. Nice find thank you!

Are the sus bumpers just outback bumpers?

nice find. I have heated seats and the switch, but I haven't found a good guide on wiring the heated seats. I took all the wires that I needed I believe though

nice build dude. Looks awesome especially for a sedan I found a SUS grille at the boneyard a few months ago, I figured it was worth something lol

whered you get those other seats? pretty nice! I managed to get a nice set of leather outback seats for mine.

http://i.imgur.com/6IWiwR2l.jpg scored outlook sway bars at the junkyard. Making my own "white"line bars. Not bad for $20. Going to head back saturday to grab the hood/trunk off the same car. I went solo, and my luck, i'll ruin them both trying to carry them back to the truck lol. Coil overs, sways, and new rotors/HPS pads on the front brakes should be going on this weekend. http://i.imgur.com/fXgLLWol.jpg

Hi guys, This is my first Subaru, and it made me fall in love with the 2nd gen WAGONS for sure. To start, I found my wagon, which I called the White Whale, but my gf named it Scuttle. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/parody/images/7/79/Scuttle.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140810230559 on craigslist in October of 2015. Picked him up for $600. He was pretty beat up, but what is the fun in a build thread if it needs no work? Here is when I first got it: http://i.imgur.com/KXrApI7.jpg 180K miles. Autotragic (thanks again, girlfriend). No real options besides P/S and A/C i guess? Issues: Hubcaps ruined, 3 bent wheels, 1 out of round tire, right rear caliper doesn't work, A/C doesn't work, seats ripping, rubber trim peeling off under windows, hooted dented and rusted, front brakes scraping, harmonic balancer wobbling, key barely worked in all doors, front bumper was resprayed with overspray on the headlights, blinkers, and 2 bolt holes on the right side of the bumper, headlights pointing straight at the ground, HORRIBLE torque binding when turning the wheel, grille missing. So bad I had to put the car in FWD mode to get home. That is all I can remember when I first got it. bumper damage: http://i.imgur.com/pNl0KZZl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WO4iuS9l.jpg My first steps were to fix the torque binding, replace all 4 wheels/tires, and do brakes all around. I flushed the trans twice, and torque binding is 90% gone. Replaced 4 wheels and tires with 15" wheels from another outback, and put outback 2pot brakes on the front, new RR caliper, pads/rotors all around. This was taken right after grill was replaced, and I also got an outback hood, why not? Here it is with the 15" wheels and hood: http://i.imgur.com/UgTTVY9.jpg I had to redrill the headlight mounting holes, and get some headlights from the junkyard because they were all BROKEN. I think each side had 1 bolt holding them in! The A/C had dye in it, so I easily found the leak on the driver's side A/C line. The O ring was shot, replaced that, A/C now works after a re-charge. My GF's bro was driving it, and he said "hey, I just lost power steering". I thought no big deal, probably pump. I get to my GF's parents house and see... http://i.imgur.com/WjcMp3el.jpg Oops. Looks like person before me who did Tbelt forgot to torque something to spec. Crank was OK thank god. Replaced balancer and belts. Back to normal. I had to flip a 95 wagon I found to sell to my GF's boss. It needed 4 tires. I figured screw these 15" wheels, I'll put them on the other wagon and get some nice wheels and tires for my own wagon http://i.imgur.com/OYmQaqml.jpg http://i.imgur.com/INdu436l.jpg I went around and replaced all the window trim. I decided that since the speakers suck, ill upgrade them. Before http://i.imgur.com/EpcEfUal.jpg After http://i.imgur.com/iAaxIfbl.jpg These are rear ones. In the front I put ones with separate tweeters. Sorry, forgot a picture. Thanks to a phenryiv1 on legacyGT for the brackets! Also installed an Alpine Type-R 15" sub in the trunk. So much for wagon trunk space, but I made it easy to remove. (this done early 2016) Upgraded to outback leather seats, fake wood trim in the interior from a limited, leather door inserts. JDM tails with my 16" snow tires/wheels I got from a saabaru guy. (winter 2016) http://i.imgur.com/seSRYlEl.jpg Also pictured is a 2005 honda pilot rear wiper blade. mine was rusted and spring was shot. Found out these fit perfectly. I managed to get a bumper for $30, had my friend repaint it. Got a JDM grille and had him paint it black as well. Retrofitted morimoto H1s into new depo headlights. (5/25/2017) http://i.imgur.com/WTCd7oIl.png Few weeks ago (06/02/2017), Car smelled like gas during start up. Didn't run 100% while cruising. I did plugs/wires/MSD coil when I got the car (Maybe early 2016), so I figured it's either a bad injector, or bad compression. Easiest thing to test is compression. Cylinders 2, 3, 4: http://i.imgur.com/AT1nyDAl.jpg Great! Cylinder 1: http://i.imgur.com/YsPlcUQl.jpg ****. I drop a little bit of oil in the cylinder http://i.imgur.com/OLyer7ol.jpg my reaction: So I said **** it. What is the worse that can happen at this point? I ran Motor Medic through the car twice, and put a drop in the cylinder. I didn't take a picture, but now its squeezing ~174psi!!!!!! Car runs much better now. It has been going strong for 3 weeks. will check compression again soon just to see. Performed a snorkulectomy? recently. Car has a good engine note now when punching it. Gotta let everyone know I am TRYING to accelerate Still waiting to go in: JDM trunk spoiler Coilovers On the to get list: outback sway bars (20mm front 18mm rear) possibly swap out the motor for a refreshed 2.2 with a delta cam regrind. maybe another trans, or convince the gf to let me 5 speed swap it.

nice work. white wagons are the best!
